The Toronto Dog Festival is another event that is not the one to be missed. Held annually in Woodbine Park, this festival is ideal for spending a fun-filled weekend with your dog with tons of activities, competitions, and food trucks. The big feature is the dock diving competition, in which dogs compete in a lengthy jump into a pool of water.


Another attraction of this festival is the marketplace featuring regional pet brands and services. Whether your dog enjoys competing or prefers to relax in style, this festival offers something for every pup.

This event also features food trucks, pet-related vendors, contests, and a walkathon to raise funds for the Humane Society. It's a great opportunity to support animal welfare and meet other dog lovers.


HOWL-O-WEEN POOCH PARADE


The Howl-O-ween Parade is a must for Halloween lovers. This yearly event in the Beaches neighborhood celebrates Halloween by presenting dogs and their owners in creative costumes as they parade down the street. This event supports local pet rescues and also awards the best-dressed one. Make sure you take your dog to a grooming season before this whimsical event.
